Facinating Story!!!!!

“I want to show everyone that you can be a Christian and Jew at the same time,” he says. “No one wants to believe that, but you can. This is a deeply felt thing for me and the underlying theme of my life.”

Today, Freedman lives near the university and still teaches two graduate level classes on the Hebrew Bible. He and his wife Cornelia have been married almost 60 years. They have four children, seven grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Retirement is something he rarely thinks about except to say that he’ll use that time to write his memoirs.
When a New York theater company revived the Ziegfield Follies of 1936, he represented the family at the show. And he’s hopeful that this staged reading will turn into a full production. Salovey sees that as a solid possibility, depending on the response to the reading.

That, indeed, is Noel’s greatest dream – one he has kept alive since that horrible night 68 years ago when his world turned upside down. “I felt that I missed something with my father,” he says, now tired from a long and emotionally draining conversation. “I was just getting to the age where we could be close when he died. He was just beginning to flourish as a writer.

They say if they can get enough of an audience for this show, they may put it on. It would mean a lot to me. Quite a lot.”

Goldman is a poet and mystic who takes much of his inspiration from an early Jewish mystical sect called the Essenes. The Essenes lived in the Middle East from the second century B.C.E through the first century C.E. They were pastoral people who grew their own food, practiced communal living and eschewed material excess, according to members of the Tree of Life Center, a neo-Essene retreat in Arizona.
